gothams3rdrobinI seriously had my doubts Symba would still be with us when I got up this morning...
Last night I heard quiet crying that sounded like it came from outside. I was puzzled, but didn't think anything of it since as far as I knew Sym was dozing under one of my chairs. Then I heard it again and decided to check on Sym, but he wasn't there.
Found him a little while later when I heard another cry coming from Rowan's room; he was trying to snuggle in a corner, and was obviously feeling very sorry for himself. I brought him back out into the main room and he went and snuggled on his cat bed - I got a blanket to cover him with 'cause he felt very cold, and he let me put it over him up to his shoulders. That in itself is unusual for him.
I thought it odd enough on Sunday that he tolerated me cwtching up on the bed with him held close to me, though he didn't stay for more than about ten minutes.
His little meows are quite high and mournful at the moment, and I was very reluctant to go to bed last night.
Right now he's back on his bed again - he's barely moved in the last twelve hours - snuggled under the blanket. I'm trying to get hold of the PDSA to get him checked out, but the number's constantly engaged. Thankfully my manager didn't make a fuss when I called him to say I doubted I'd be at work today - I did say I would try, if I can get a late appointment, but I don't know if I will. He'll probably ask me to work the time back, but that's not too hard right now since Rowan's at camp till five thirty.
*sigh* I wonder if this is it. He's already outlived Tammie by about a year.
